FILE - In this Oct. 3, 1965, file photo President Lyndon B. Johnson sits at his desk on Liberty Island in New York Harbor as he signs a new immigration bill. It was presented as a symbolic move - President Lyndon Johnson on Liberty Island, signing an immigration bill that gave people from every country in the world an equal chance to come to America.

A country that was almost entirely native-born in 1965 has a significant foreign-born population; demographic diversity has spread to every region, expanding a black-and-white racial paradigm into a multi-colored one. Americans have gleefully adopted musical genres and foods that have immigrant origins, while remaining conflicted and uneasy politically over who’s here, legally and not. (AP Photo, File)
